I got my daughter a Planet X Stealth for her graduation gift. We have spent quite a bit of time fitting her on the bike and we finally have her dialed in. Her position looks really, really good. She can (and will) eventually get a bit lower, but, it really looks good.
However, we are having an issue with her position on the saddle. She has a Fizik womens specific saddle (cannot recall which one right now). When she rides, she has too much curve on her back. When I flatten her back and get her to rotate her hips forward she is really uncomfortable on the saddle. She says it puts too much pressure on her "lady parts." I have tried to push her back on her sit bones, but, when I get her back flat, she says all the pressure is on her "lady parts."
I have tried to explain to her that she should feel the saddle more in the taint area and not where she is feeling it, but, she is not getting it.
Can you give me any tips? Being a guy, this is a bit out of my league. Is this common?
